"Energy".
This could be about the right word, when I look after 20 years
the works of Arben Kucana. This "property" from him
at an early stage, to the academic period (in this period after
his sudden I saw him more energetic emigration), I could superficially
be described as "creative snobbery," a quality of all
the talented students. Such a definition after many years, where
time loses its weight in an upside-down film montage should mean
an unforgivable naivety, not only for us who know him and met
as before, but also for the sober academic criticism. Solemnity
of movement, cerebral analysis, fracture hedonistic, rational
coincidence formal monumentality, minimal graphics: this,
not even to mention other feelings come into my mind while I look
at his works.
Only
a "vigorous" no talent and "youthful" can
also be controlled within a relatively compressed period of
creative about 2 months a density of plants with such expressive
aesthetics.
The
60 works will be exhibited for the first time in 20 years at
the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Tirana. This
hospitable gate was not open accidentally for his flight and
his return. This work is a particularly tantalizing challenge
for us who know him and where he has been missing for two decades.
